Oregon Midori Traveler's Notebook (Part 2)

I'm back with more work on my Oregon Trip Midori. I decided this will be my main album for this trip. I might also do a page or two my 2015 Project Life book of the highlights.



On my first pages, I used a photo of the coast and the calendar page from the August Cocoa Daisy DaisyDori to show the dates we were there. I used some watercolors behind the photo and embellishments from my August Take 10 Kit.




The next page was a pre-stamped page I made for recording the summary of each day. I was not able to journal every night, so this was a big help.


I used some fun cards from the kit. My photos were collaged with the picstich app and cut apart.



When journaling, I left a few spots for photos here and there.

Mommy + Me Time

Last year was the first time I had one in full-time Kindergarten and one in his first year of morning Preschool. That left my youngest (15 months old at the time) with some much needed mommy time all to himself.

The September Take 10 Kit is spectacular for this month. The colors! The designs!

I just love the look of this title card and it was perfect for my page theme. I added a heart from the glam bag with a pop dot to give some dimension and those glossy red enamel dots!

The cut-apart sheets are so genius! I love making little labels with them that coordinate.

Got your nose! The Washi "cards" in the kit are so convenient! They include little strips the same width as your journal cards. I put two together with a "pop-dotted" piece here.

On the filler card, I used one of the new stamp sets. The little banner (again, another pop dot!) was made with the stamp, colored in with marker and fussy cut (didn't take long).

I loved this little saying in the cut-apart sheet - Believe in Your #Selfie. I get an A+ for selfies in this layout! I don't think I've ever put myself in a single layout more than I did in this one.

Basking in a Summer Layout as the Days Get Cooler...

I'm already missing the lazy days of summer, as we are swept up in the day-to-day of the school year. So I'm bringing you a summer pool day layout, using the gold pieces from my July Take 10 Kit and some of the Citrus Bliss papers.



Yep, I did it, I used all that gold in a one-pager. And I love it. I admit that I usually only add a splash of sparkle to any one layout, but I spilled the whole bottle on this one. My 6-year-old daughter is proud.





I like looking at this page and remembering those warm days. But, I also am looking forward to fall hitting my town with all the gorgeous changing colors, pumpkin spice latte and fires in the fireplace.
